Pineapple Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pineapple

    Peel, core, and slice the fresh pineapple into rings or wedges.

  2. 2

    Toast the Pineapple

    In a grill pan or on a grill, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pineapple slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized and toasted.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Birch Bark Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine the crushed birch bark, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Season the Pineapple

    Once the pineapple is toasted, remove from heat and brush the birch bark mixture onto each slice. Sprinkle with crushed black peppercorns.

  5. 5

    Add Black Lime

    Crush the dried black lime slightly and sprinkle over the toasted pineapple for a tangy flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the toasted pineapple on a serving platter and enjoy warm as a unique appetizer or dessert.
